Karwan Bazar killings
This horrifying front page news in all national dailies on 27june, is a slap on the face of the government! It underlines the strength, ruthlessness and total disregard for law and order by the vicious "Chadabaz". It is a sore challenge to the government!
If the culprits are not found, and swiftly and harshly punished at the earliest, then in time the honoured tradition of democratic government the Home minister should take responsibility of failure and resign. If this does not happen, say in the next two weeks, then what is the difference between a democratic government and a carefree autocracy? The AL should consider this democratic tradition seriously and abide by it to be counted as a real democratic government and not a sham!
As for the police, starting from the IG, the top officials responsible for maintaining law and order in Dhaka must be shown the door. Gracefully, like the Home Minister, they too should resign voluntarily, accepting the failure in their professional duty.
The factual saying, which cannot be denied is that; "Although murder has no tongue; yet it speaks." For this incident, it should be doubly so, and this has to be proved by the police! If not, then law and order becomes a farce. If this happens, then it will surely herald the beginning of the end for this government; like it or not!
"Uneasy lies the head, that wears the crown." Today this is the fact of life, for this popular democratic government. They cannot allow a gang of criminals to challenge their capability!
